(TORONTO) Sept. 3, 2014 – The FranWorks Group of Companies has teamed up with Reshift Media to power a network of localized Facebook pages for their Elephant & Castle, Original Joe’s, and State & Main locations across Canada and the United States in an effort to increase its reach and relevance across social media.
“The Social Brand Amplifier allowed us to roll out location-specific pages for all our locations with ease,” says Jeff Humphreys, Franworks’ Manager of Digital and Social Media. “Without this tool, the process would have been timing-consuming and complex. Creating a unified presence on Facebook was an important piece of our digital strategy and Reshift helped us achieve this.”
To help manage their restaurants’ growing social media presence, FranWorks has implemented Reshift’s proprietary Social Brand Amplifier software, which allows brands to update and manage a network of local Facebook pages easily and efficiently.
The Social Brand Amplifier enables companies to cascade content (including posts, apps and timeline images) across all of their Facebook pages, or to select pages grouped by geography or demographics. Additionally, the software allows companies to consolidate their Facebook reporting and analytics, while still allowing individual restaurant owners to engage their community through local posts and promotions.
“FranWorks specializes in neighbourhood pubs and restaurants where people come together,” says Jen McDonnell, VP of Social Media and Content at Reshift. “That is why it is so crucial that each restaurant has their own Facebook page where guests can check-in, post photos and talk about their visit. Managing all those local pages at the corporate level can be overwhelming, which is why the Social Brand Amplifier is so essential.”
